POSTSUPER(1)                                         POSTSUPER(1)


NAME
       postsuper - Postfix super intendent

SYNOPSIS
       postsuper [-p] [-s] [-v] [directory ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  postsuper  command does small maintenance jobs on the
       named Postfix queue directories (default: all).  Directory
       names  are  relative to the Postfix top-level queue direc-
       tory.

       By default, postsuper performs  the  operations  requested
       with the -s and -p command-line options.  postsuper always
       tries to remove objects that are neither files nor  direc-
       tories.   Use  of this command is restricted to the super-
       user.

       Options:

       -s     Structure check.  Move queue files that are in  the
              wrong place in the file system hierarchy and remove
              subdirectories that  are  no  longer  needed.  File
              rearrangements  are necessary after a change in the
              hash_queue_names and/or hash_queue_depth configura-
              tion  parameters.  It  is highly recommended to run
              this check once before Postfix startup.

       -p     Purge stale files (files that are left  over  after
              system or software crashes).

       -v     Enable verbose logging for debugging purposes. Mul-
              tiple -v options  make  the  software  increasingly
              verbose.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Problems  are reported to the standard error stream and to
       syslogd.

CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
       See the Postfix main.cf file for syntax  details  and  for
       default values.

       hash_queue_depth
              Number of subdirectory levels for hashed queues.

       hash_queue_names
              The  names of queues that are organized into multi-
              ple levels of subdirectories.
